Food Truck Bazaar
A food truck can also be called a mobile kitchen, mobile canteen or catering truck. A food truck bazaar is a recurring event bringing select food trucks together in a specific area for people to come out and experience. Food trucks are located all over the world but have become really popular here in the United States over the past couple of years. NYC & Miami (as well as Orlando now) have them all over the place (mostly stationed outside local businesses) everyday for residents to eat at whether it be during a break or for an actual meal. 
This month I decided to check out one of these food truck bazaars to see what all the hype was about and let me tell you I was not disappointed. The event ran from 7pm until midnight and featured around 15 trucks from all over the Orlando area as well as Miami. Food ranged from BBQ to waffles to fish to cupcakes. There was something for everyone no matter how picky of an eater you are. What's really fun about this type of event is you don't have to just pick one truck and have that as your meal. You can bounce around from truck to truck and sample everything that jumps out at you. For someone who is a germ freak I was a little hesitant at first to attend but I was glad I got over it and did. From what I saw all of the trucks I walked up to, they were very sanitary and I had no problem eating from them.
Just a couple of quick tips when attending a food truck bazaar are: bring cash most trucks don't have credit card machines, be prepared to wait in long lines for those popular trucks, make friends while waiting in line (I met an entertaining group of ladies while waiting for my waffle) and lastly just enjoy yourself.
So if you have never attended a food truck bazaar before or heck even thought about eating from a food truck in general, I highly recommend you!
